Readcomix Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I thought this one would be a fun opportunity for someone to own (most of) a tough and sought-after book, or for someone to complete their incomplete copy. On the auction block is a coverless, incomplete copy of Peanuts #1 (United Features Syndicate, 1953) the first book to feature Peanuts. What’s missing is the cover and the first two wraps (confirmed against my personal copy), and the centerfold is detached. Rules (Please, please read) Opening bid is $1; bids increase in $1 increments. BIN is $800 (I have purposely set a high BIN so that we can have a fun auction. For reference, a cgc 1.0 sold in 2018 on Heritage for $780, and a raw copy with bug chew, chips and splits sold in July on eBay for $832.) Lowest price available currently on eBay is a cgc .5 asking $1895 with 12 watchers. I will post that auction is open once all pix are up. Auction closes at 11 pm EST this coming Saturday night, Sept. 18. (A 10:59 pm bid can win, an 11 pm bid is late.) Payment is Check or Money Order (yeah, yeah I know I'm a dinosaur, troglodyte, luddite, mennonite, hermaphrodite etc. - I just don't have or want e-payments.) Shipping: USPS Priority shipping is $8. Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape on your dime.
